Evil Canines

Today's post is dedicated to my dear friend Jorge, who will surely appreciate it.

Last Friday I watched (for the second time) that interesting TV show named Dog Eat Dog. I still remember when Jorge described it to Lori, Alberto and I back in Athens, and everything he said is certainly accurate: you have a bunch of hot girls in bikinis going through different courses and trials, and the camera is right there on their crotch. This is true, but I would also like to point out that some of the games are actually fun to watch (probably not to suffer in your own skin), and the hostess, Brooke Burns, is beautiful beyond the world.

Basically, the contestants, who have had a day to get to know each other, need to choose somebody to play one of the games. And this is the fun part: they have to choose the player they think will fail, so they can get rid of all their opponents and get the money (hence the title of the show), and this is where what they learned about each other comes in handy. However, once there's only one contestant left (the Top Dog), then he or she has to face the other contestants that have ended up in the Dog Pound, and if they can answer the questions she gives them, they get the money and the Top Dog becomes the Top Loser.
The show in entertaining and little else, but it is worth watching just to see Brooke Burns. And I mean, really. (If you don't believe me, check out some pictures here and her Maxim photo shoot video here.) Also, while I was doing research for this post (I'm such a scholar!), I found out that Brooke broke her neck in an accident over a year ago, and almost became a quadriplegic. However, she managed to recover and now she is fine, so besides celebrating her amazing beauty, I am also celebrating the fact that she is okay, when the outcome could have been much, much darker. Here's to you, Brooke!

Oh, yes good old Dog eat Dog. It´s a great tv show because it gives what you expect, nothing less and nothing moore. It doesn´t deceives you at all and that´s a lot to say about tv.

I remember laughing and laughing til it cracked me down, good old times. Glad to hear you are a new fan, hehehehe

You definitely get what you expect, and since I already knew about the show thanks to you, I knew exactly what to expect, hehehe. But Brooke Burns blows me away every time she's on screen. She's absolutely gorgeous, and funny to boot!

Yes, and the "coño-cam" is unforgettable. Remember that scene, Jorge, when the bikini-clad girl has to straddle a thick palm tree that's leaning over a pool of water and slide her body up it? The camera barely left her crotch.

This is actually kind of a disgusting show, but Jorge's right - it gives you what you expect, no more and no less.

As long as Brooke is there, I'll enjoy watching it... or watching her, more like it. Which I guess means that if she was the news anchor, I'd watch the news, and if she was a tennis player, I'd watch her matches. Just like I do with Maria Sharapova, now that I come to think about it...

No he visto el programa de la rubia esta, pero al Cesar lo que es del Cesar: la niña está de muy buen ver.

En Canadá, zapeando en el Hotel (50 canales y tu dale que te pego al mando arriba y abajo, en España por fortuna hay menos canales y vas mas rapido), vi un programa en el que salia el actor Tom Arnold que se llamaba algo asi como: "The Best Damn Girls..." aunque Girls se sustituia por una palabra mucho mas slang que creo que signfica "macizorras".

Un programa cojonudo: Tias de impresion en bikinis minusculos. Muy instructivo. Y todas a favor de "la paz mundial"...

Y seguro que todas se han empollado la historia de la Rusia post-zarista de pé a pá.

Sobre la Burns (no confundir con Montgomery) desde luego está que arde (pun pathetically intended). Me recuerda bastante a la Biel.

Y, Fel, no sé cómo puedes poner tus cinco sentidos en un programa de tal calaña sólo porque una tía esté buena. Quiero decir, yo también lo hago, pero le quito el sonido y me pongo buena música. Me ayuda a sentirme mejor conmigo mismo. Menos ruín. :P

"la niña está de muy buen ver"

"desde luego está que arde"


Y yo, por alguna razón, seguro de que a Nacho no le gustará...

Supongo que la respuesta a tu pregunta, Hal, es que no me importa sentirme ruín, hahaha. Bien es cierto que podría quitarle el sonido, pero me gusta su voz y, como ya dije, es simpática. Pero siempre tengo un libro cerca para entretenerme durante los anuncios o si la prueba no resulta demasiado embelesante.

¡¡¡¡JAJAJAJAJA!!!!
Deberíamos hacer una apuesta o algo. :P

Pues más que ruín, querido pirata, ahora debo decir que estás enfermo de letra impresa. Ya lees hasta cuando ves la tele. Lo cual, por cierto, me parece una excelente idea.
El problema es mío personal. Yo, o hago una cosa o la otra. Si no, me diluyo, y empiezo a pensar en que si Tricia Helfer es una tortuga gigante con cuatro elefantes sobre su caparazón, y cosas por el estilo... :(

Mario Alba said...

Te puedo asegurar que Tricia Helfer no tiene elefantes bajo el caparazón, pues el otro día me topé con la colección de fotos que se hizo para Playboy hará cinco o seis meses, lo que de algún modo me llevó a toparme con las que se hizo Charisma Carpenter para la misma revista. No sé si llamarlas didácticas, pero enseñar enseñan un rato.

Y hablando de DW, anoche me terminé Pyramids...

Jeje, y yo The Color of Magic. Post comentatorio pronto.

Acabo de ver las fotos de la Helfer, pero las de Charisma como que no las he encontrado. En fin, tampoco es que la chica sea para tanto...

Mario Alba said...

A ver si te mando el link con las de Charisma...
